ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are described in a voice mail system for selectively storing faxes in a batch mailbox prior to printing at a facsimile machine in order to efficiently utilize the telephone connection between the voice mail system and the facsimile machine. The apparatus comprises a plurality of electronic mailboxes for the storage of facsimiles, a facsimile machine for receiving and printing facsimiles from the plurality of mailboxes, and a batch mailbox connected between the plurality of mailboxes and the facsimile for receiving and buffering the stored facsimiles and for sequentially transmitting the buffered facsimiles to the facsimile machine for printing. Facsimiles can be added to the batch mailbox during the printing of other facsimiles in the batch mailbox.
